Mr. Oketch,
We all agree Kenya needs direction in garbage collection and disposal. We laud the efforts of a few Kenyans that have kept sections of towns, estates and homesteads tidy & clean. Given your passion & vocation on the matter would you work with estate welfare association like Komarock etc to harmonise the disparity between the likes of Nyayo Estate & Mathare for example?
I am certain the is goodwill but many need to be reminded that cleanliness is next to Godliness. And that they might be in a ghetto but maintain cleanliness, hygiene, plant flowers, dig trenches to ease drainage flow etc.
I appreciate the efforts of your organisation and welcome you to our offices so as to redo your we site at no charge. Your work speaks for itself and you require a customised website that will celebrate & better showcase that.
Regards,
Lunani Joseph

Friends,

Embakasi Estate. My, this is the Cleanest Estate in Africa, not just East and Central Africa. And I want to challenge anybody who thinks otherwise to let us know.
The Estate is managed by Kiragu $ Mwangi Limited- registered valuers and property managers. The Estate is one of
Just look at this.... The Managers had a very clear vision and focused management

Residents in Partnership with the Management ensures that water flows, street lights are working, and services for which they are paying are
As at now, Nyayo Embakasi Estate has 2,505 units and a further 688 units will be commissioned within 3 Months. This makes Nyayo Embakasi Estate
At optimum level next year, the Estate will boast of 4,774 units. If
Bro. Haron, Yes the 'Umuganda' are a unique, great thing. But for such to have the kind of impact experienced in Rwanda, the top leadership must be truly on the driving seat. I personally experienced and heard of many good hands-on things President Kagame (my today's Africa's role model President) does. Apart from Umuganda, Rwanda to the best of my knowledge remains the only country in the world where non-biodegradable polythene bags are outlawed, and strictly enforced. Rwanda has many 'firsts' we could all learn from - place where rule of law is honoured, zero-tolerance to corruption, techno-savvy, people-centred (as opposed to political elite-centred), only world country with more female than male MPs, some of the best maintained city/countryside roads (at least they were 4 years ago when I left), very likely Africa's safest city, and possibly cleanest city, Africa's no doubt only major Internet-ready city (you can access broadband wireless Internet literally from any part of the city/Kigali), etc. The only reason: Rwanda has visionary, selfless, servant leadership which Kenya sorely lacks. Isn't this reason enough for us to replace all those pretenders we call 'leaders' in Kenya? PNU/ODM IS THE PROBLEM, G47+1 IS THE ANSWER! Rgrds, Shem Shem J.

Shem, The freedom in Kenya today is not comparable to any country in Africa. This is all you need in life. The rest you can do. It is often argued that India's development amidst dirt and democracy is more sustainable than China. Creativity thrives in freedom. We may be dirty now but our freedom enables us to be more innovative. Kenya ni mama yetu hata ikiwa nini. There is no need to fancy our neighbour's mother when the responsibility to make us better lies in all of us. Residents of Avenue Park created there own rules to make the estate clean and a better place to live in. It is several years since they started and the place remains clean. It all begins with one individual then the rest follow. It is not all lost for Kenya. We shall figure it out from a multi stakeholder point of view that when one falls a thousand are left to move us forward. Leadership is not an individual but a collective understanding of a value system. Africa must wake up to this reality for when we do not have that strong character in the driver's seat, we must be able to wake up, relate to one another and face the world in chorus. Ndemo.

I agree with Ndemo. Many visit Rwanda and come back saying how clean it is. They forget citizens in Rwanda are forced to do communal clean up every month. The same people will not even volunteer to clean up their home environs.
